Orphan Barrel, a renowned whiskey maker, is dedicated to unearthing the finest lost barrels worldwide and using expert precision to produce whiskeys of unparalleled quality. Their mission has made some of the rarest bourbons in history available to the public. The Copper Tongue 16-year-old cask strength bourbon is the latest limited edition release from Diageo's Orphan Barrel Project. It's a subtle and sophisticated 89.9 proof whiskey sourced from Tennessee's George Dickel's Cascade Hollow Distillery, demonstrating the Orphan Barrel ethos of producing luxurious profiles that result from the expert finishing of their discovered whiskeys. The Copper Tongue 16-year-old cask strength bourbon offers a unique and interesting tasting experience, aligned with the Orphan Barrel approach. Despite being produced at a Tennessee whiskey distillery, the bourbon sings on the palate, igniting the tastebuds with nuanced hints of brown sugar, cinnamon, and leather on the nose. Palate notes of clove, molasses, and stone fruit underscore a prolonged, spicy yet sweet finish, making it a perfect paradox.
